RE: Clutter Vs CSS3

[mahesh gawali <maheshgawali outlook com>]

Thanks Alejandro for those useful links on gobject introspection :) 

I wish to use this wrapper for creating web-apps using clutter (Hence, JS-extension). Although gobject introspection is very nice and compelling it is for creating standalone applications, right? Will it work on browser ?

I have exposed a few clutter APIs to experiment using SWIG, So far they work fine in a simple JS to draw a box on the stage. But the part I am not sure about is EVENT-HANDLING in _javascript_. How can I invoke g_signal_connect (or equivalent) from JS? Since JS doesnt have events defined for custom objects, like a click-event on a box drawn using clutter. any ideas on this?

Why create a wrapper if you already have automatic generated bindings thanks to gobject introspection [1]? GNOME Shell [2] UI is written on _javascript_, and can make clutter calls using _javascript_ without problems (example [3])

I was wondering if it would be wise to do so given CSS3 does most of the animation that clutter provides.

Does anyone have any inputs on this? Will a JS wrapper of Clutter be useful in creating exciting webapps than CSS3?

Not sure how do you plan to make Clutter calls from a webapp, but in any case, see my previous comment.
